Morning, lovely people. The central heating has made the executive decision: summer is over. Cardigan season is upon us! I love the autumn. Jumpers, boots, good books, binge telly, hot chocolate, crochet blankets. Bring it on. C : ) xx

My Tudor binge continues. Just finished with Katherine of Aragon and about to start the second in the excellent Six Tudor Queens series by Alison Weir. I’m hoping Anne Boleyn has a happier ending! 😱 What are you reading? C : ) xx

@SmudgedChaos @TracyBorman 👍🏻Sounds good. C : ) xx

Morning, lovely people. Fab singer/songwriter, Ed Blunt is on tour and he’s heading to @StablesMK on 26 September. If you like your songs thoughtful and mellow, he’s your man. See you there! C : ) xx

Today, I went to the very fabulous gardens at Lowther Castle. The Dan Pearson design around the old ruins is stunning. Lots of ideas for my own garden. (None of which involve knocking the house down). C : ) xx
